Broken Heart

We were side by side through it all
Late nights, shared dreams, answering the call
Built something real in that empty room
Two hearts working like they had something to prove

She once said I'd always have her heart
Thought those words would never fall apart
But promises fade when you close your eyes
And I was left believing in a lie

I held on to hope like a lifeline
But you said you were love blind

And that's when the cracks began to show
I gave my truth, you said you didn't know
A moment I'll never forget
Your silence burned like a cigarette
But I'm piecing it back, part by part
Trying to rekindle this broken heart

Now I walk past the places we stood
Where laughter echoed louder than it should
You smiled like we were meant to be
But the ending was written quietly

I stayed behind with every plan
You moved on like none of it was planned
Still stuck playing back what I believed
Was it all just make-believe?

I held on to hope like a lifeline
But you said you were love blind

And that's when the cracks began to show
I gave my truth, you said you didn't know
A moment I'll never forget
Your silence burned like a cigarette
But I'm piecing it back, part by part
Trying to rekindle this broken heart

I won't stay shattered in the dark
I'm learning how to restart
From the ashes of goodbye
A better version's learning how to fly

Yeah the cracks still shine through the pain
But they won't define who I became
I'm not the same boy you left behind
There's a fire now where there used to be time
I'm piecing it back, part by part
Bringing life to this broken heart
